Hecmarie Berrios started dreaming of becoming a nurse when she was in preschool. “I love caring for and helping others,” Berrios said. That childhood dream became reality this fall when Berrios, who graduated from the Rutgers School of Nursing–Camden in May, started a full-time registered nurse position working in a cardiac unit at Cooper University Hospital. Being a nurse presents opportunities that Berrios relishes. “I get a chance to save lives,” she said. “We’re there for the patients every step of the way.”
The path to a nursing degree wasn’t easy for the native of Camden. A 2014 graduate of the Camden Academy Charter High School, the college prep school set her on the track to pursue her dream of becoming a nurse. After earning an associate’s degree at Camden County College, she continued her education at Rutgers‒Camden.

When the U.S. Supreme Court handed down a landmark ruling that banned discrimination based on an individual’s sexual orientation or gender identity, law professors and advocates saw the influence of Rutgers Law Professor Katie Eyer’s work in the opinion.
Eyer authored an article, and later an amicus “friend of the court” brief, arguing that textualism a theory that the interpretation of the law should center on the legal text required the court to conclude that gay and transgender employees are protected by Title VII. The Supreme Court adopted this argument, ruling by a 6-3 margin in the case of Bostock v. Clayton County that workplace discrimination basedon an individual’s sexual orientation or gender identity is prohibited by Title VII of the Civil Rights Act of 1964.
